Chapter 184 Let the drums of liberation sound, and defeat the drought demon!
Faced with the overwhelming attack from the Bhujun and Yanmi, Fuliduo didn't even bother to put down the food in her hand. She simply raised her hand covered with a dark gold arm ring, her five fingers slightly spread, and an invisible yet extremely powerful force of exhaustion instantly erupted from her center!
That wasn't a pure energy shock, but a conceptual deprivation.
Deprive us of kinetic energy, deprive us of vitality, deprive us of all possibilities of flow and activity!
The fearsome soldier at the forefront felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained in an instant. His violent forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and the heavy iron became as difficult to wield as a mountain. He was like a piece of solidified amber, and his movements became a hundred times slower!
Yan Mi, who was right behind her, felt the magic power on the purifying arrows she had gathered rapidly dissipating, as if the arrows were withering away.
The next moment, Felix flicked his wrist slightly.
Wow!
The two powerful Indian spirits were struck as if by an invisible giant hammer, flying backward without any resistance and crashing heavily into the scorched rocks in the distance. Their spirit foundations fluctuated violently, and they were unable to get up for a while!
One strike!
With just a casual strike, he crushed two top-tier Servants!
The entire room fell silent!
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Roger, Shiki—everyone who witnessed this scene had their pupils suddenly contract, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
They were well aware of the strength of the Fel Army and Yami, especially the Fel Army, whose power was such that even Roger and Shiki had to be on high alert.
Yet, they were so utterly vulnerable before this demon god?!
As Weber watched this scene, his breathing suddenly quickened, and the last trace of hesitation in his eyes was completely crushed, replaced by an almost frenzied fervor.
As Yan Mi revealed the names of the gods and demons that symbolized ultimate destruction and drought, a dangerous and audacious idea took shape in his mind, which was filled with despair!
He took a sudden step forward, ignoring the suffocating pressure, and shouted at Frido, who was still slowly chewing his food.
"You! You said you were summoned by me! Didn't you?"
Felid's deep purple eyes turned to him warily, with a hint of amusement.
"Kid, you can't just say things like that. Yes, but not entirely. I am only here because of your strong call and destiny. I am not sustained by your magic, and don't think you can make me obey you because of that."
She licked the juice from her fingertips, her tone dismissive.
"What if I'm willing to pay the price?!" Weber's voice was hoarse with excitement, but it carried a resolute determination.
"If I pay a sufficient price, would you be willing to obey my orders temporarily?!"
Flittus paused slightly in his chewing, as if he had finally become somewhat interested.
She slowly turned her head, truly looking directly at this tiny yet audacious human being.
"Oh? The price? Tell me, what are you willing to pay? Interesting, I'd like to hear it."
A sacrificial resolve and obsession appeared on Weber's face as he opened his arms as if to embrace all the sins.
"My everything! My life! My soul! I don't care if I go to hell after death! But..."
He suddenly pointed to his surrounding tribesmen and the land.
"Don't involve my people! I will bear the consequences alone! Help me wipe out these outsiders! Drive them all off the Sky Island! Restore peace to this place!!"
Felid stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a low, pleasant laugh.
"Hiss hiss hiss chirp hee hee ha ha ha ha! Interesting! Really interesting! I never expected to encounter such an interesting fellow so soon after arriving in this barren world!"
She flicked her snake tail: "Fine, fine, considering you treated me to a good meal and were so considerate—"
Her purplish gaze swept over the struggling Bhu Jun and Yan Mi, as well as the Straw Hat crew who were on high alert, her eyes filled with pure malice and mockery.
"I'll be merciful and deal with these two guys who exude an unpleasant divine aura first. Of course, don't misunderstand."
Her voice suddenly turned cold: "Simply because I, too, genuinely despise them!"
Before he finished speaking, a killing intent far more terrifying than before locked onto Bu Jun and Yan Mi!
Suddenly, a strangely shaped, jet-black spear appeared in Felid's hand!
The gun barrel was wrapped in chilling withered runes; its mere presence caused the surrounding air to completely lose moisture, and the space itself seemed about to crack open!
"That's...!!" Yan Mi exclaimed in shock, her face turning deathly pale instantly.
"Indra's Vajra?! How did he end up in your hands?! Is it because he was once thrown into your mouth—."
As the daughter of the sun god, she knew all too well how terrifying this divine weapon was. It was not only indestructible, but also had an absolute special attack effect on all divinity!
For these Heroic Spirits, they are almost mortal enemies who can kill you if you touch them!
The Brutus Army's pupils also contracted sharply, sensing a deadly threat!
He tried to dodge, but the depleted power of his concepts returned, making him move slowly as if he were stuck in a quagmire!
"Big guy! Watch out!" Luffy shouted and charged forward almost instinctively!
His rubber arm was instantly covered in jet-black Armament Haki, and he slammed it with all his might towards the demonic spear that shot out!
Almost at the same time, Roger, Shiki, and Kidd also made their moves!
They could all sense the terror of that gun; it was a conceptual threat that transcended the level of physical strength.
"God's Dodge!" Roger's domineering slash arrived first despite being delayed!
"Lion: Thousand Cut Valley!" The golden lion's soaring slash tore through the earth!
"Magnetic String!" Kidd manipulated the giant metal arm to try and deflect the gun's momentum!
"Gum-Gum King Kong Gun!" Luffy's all-out attack!
Four powerful forces, from heroes of two eras, simultaneously and precisely struck the side of the tip of the Vajra Spear.
Boom! ...
The deafening explosion almost ripped my eardrums apart!
The combined attack of the four finally managed to deflect the terrifying demonic spear, which contained divine special attack power, from its original trajectory!
The pitch-black demonic spear grazed past the body of the Bhu Jun, like a destructive black meteor, instantly piercing through the huge vines and cloud soil in the distance, leaving a shocking trail!
Everything touched by this trajectory, whether plants, soil, or rocks, instantly lost all moisture and turned to dust!
It's as if even a part of the very concept of existence has been erased!
The army was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. Looking at the horrific marks beside him, he was still shaken.
He looked at Luffy and his crew with a complicated expression: "You guys..."
Luffy, panting heavily, withdrew his reddened fist and grinned, though his wolf-fox eyes were bright.
"Big guy! You're the teacher who taught me to control my power! How could I possibly watch you get killed! You're also Little Sun's younger brother!"
However, this selfless rescue only elicited an even more intense reaction from Weber.
"Hypocrite!!" Waver roared angrily, his eyes bloodshot, pointing at Luffy and the others.
"You outsiders! You're the ones who brought that God-King here! And now you're pretending to be good people?!"
"If it weren't for you, how could Sky Island have become like this?! How could my people have died?! How could it have split apart?! It's all your fault! All the invaders deserve to die! Get out of our land!"
The successive loss of loved ones, the destruction of his home, witnessing his people succumb to or die from a strange disease, and the immense pressure to survive had already brought Weber to the brink of collapse.
Amid his roar, Frido let out a gleeful hiss: "Well said! Let's start by cleaning up the eyesores, you eyesores!"
The Vajra Demon Spear flew back into her hand as if it had a life of its own. With a flick of her serpent tail, she launched another attack with overwhelming ferocity!
This time, the target is the Straw Hat Pirates and two Indian war dead!
The battle erupted instantly! But the situation was completely one-sided!
The other members of the Straw Hat crew were too weak to intervene in a battle of this level; they could only desperately try to avoid the dissipating aura of depletion.
The two Indian spirits were restrained by Vajra because of their divinity, and were forced to fight with limited strength, facing constant danger.
Kidd was the first to give in, struck by a dry shockwave. His metal arm rusted and shattered instantly, and he was sent flying backward, spitting blood.
The divine nature of the sun god hidden within Luffy also became a target. He was grazed by Vajra's sharpness several times. Although he was not directly hit, his divinity was constantly weakened, and he was in excruciating pain all over his body and was also knocked away.
Soon, only Roger and Shiki remained on the field, struggling to hold on with their top-tier Haki and Devil Fruit abilities. However, they were also gradually defeated by Frigid's almost unsolvable concept of depletion and Vazara, who was specifically designed to counter divinity. Their defeat seemed to be only a matter of time!
Crisis time!
Luffy, who had been knocked to the ground, closed his eyes.
As he listened to Webber's hateful roar, felt the fear and bewilderment on the faces of the Sky Island survivors, and heard the oppressive scene of the sky first being filled with lightning and then shrouded in black mist, the words of his three teachers suddenly echoed in his mind.
Roger: "—It's a cheer for the desire to exist, a cheer for liberation!"
Beast Army: "...Let it flow like blood—"
Golden Lion: "Imagine it as an arrow shot out!"
And there is that laughter and will hidden deep within the fruit, originating from ancient times!
"I still can't stop laughing like the big guy said—otherwise I wouldn't be able to use this power—"
Luffy muttered to himself, and then a smile that seemed completely out of place with the atmosphere of the battlefield appeared on his face!
"Nika!" he uttered a name as if unconsciously.
The next moment, a dazzling yet not blinding white light burst forth from his body!
It is not the golden color of the sun, but a purer, more dazzling white light that is closer to the origin of life and freedom!
Frigid froze, staring at Luffy in disbelief: "This power?! Surrey? No, that can't be!"
This is?!"
To everyone's astonishment, Luffy's body seemed to have undergone a miraculous bleaching process, his skin and hair instantly turning snow-white, with steam-like white flames surrounding him!
The clouds, trees, and even the air around him began to soften, stretch, and deform like rubber, as if the whole world had become a toy in his hands, full of infinite possibilities!
"The fruit has awakened?!" The Golden Lion turned around, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A drumbeat of liberation, seemingly from the beginning of the world, resonated without warning in the heartbeat of every living being!
This drumbeat did not emphasize absolute order and majesty like Indra's thunder, nor did it bring despair, deathly silence, and desolation like Vritra's whispers.
It is a free rhythm that sounds purely for liberation, for laughter, and for breaking free from all constraints!
Between extreme order and extreme chaos, a force representing liberation emerges!
"Hehehe," a strange laugh, seemingly composed of countless layers of laughter, came from within the white light.
The next moment, Luffy, whose body had softened like a rubber sprite, crossed space in an instant with a posture that defied all the laws of physics. His fist, which was wrapped in white flames and the power of liberation, slammed into Fulidana's face in a way that no one could understand!
Bang! Bang!
A heavy, muffled thud was heard!
The arrogant drought demon Frido was actually hit by this seemingly soft punch, causing his head to tilt back and his entire body to fly off the ground!
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone stared in disbelief at Luffy's blurry figure in the white light, and at the ancient demon god who had been defeated for the first time.
The battle seemed to truly begin at this moment.
